Chapter 308: The Authorities Are Confused, and the Bystanders Are Clear [II]
The distance between it and Jiraiya can be regarded as close at hand. Even though Jiraiya had deliberately lowered the volume, the rather aggrieved whispering words of complaint still reached Naruto's ears word for word. Naruto was slightly stunned, and his face became more and more gloomy.
"How...... What's the matter, I'm not wrong......"
Because Naruto has always treated his companions preferentially, and it is rare to see Naruto show such a terrible expression-or, in other words, the gloomy appearance that would have only been used on the enemy, under the deep fear of the heartbeat, involuntarily showed it to Jiraiya, who was a companion, for the first time, because of the fact that Jiraiya, who already felt inexplicably weak, suddenly shrunk his neck. Immediately, his face was sweating, and he tilted his head slightly, trying to avoid making contact with Naruto's gaze. He raised his hand and scratched his head lightly, and continued to mumble more and more aggrieved.
"When...... Back then, I couldn't beat that guy from Sanshoyu Hanzo because I was still young...... It's been so many years now, and even if I do meet again, if I go head-to-head one-on-one, I will definitely be ......"
"You know, it's a one-on-one heads-up situation, huh? Lustful Fairyββ! β
I saw that Jilai still didn't give up on the matter of rushing to Yuyin Village in person and sending a wave of heads thousands of miles away. Naruto's heart made him feel more and more emotional, how correct his choice to leave the village again was, but he was even more angry. And then he didn't care about the seniority of the person in front of him, and even as if the old and young generations were completely reversed, he asked and scolded him coldly, and unceremoniously stuck the rebuttal words in his mouth in his throat.
"Yes, at the beginning, maybe it was indeed because of your immature age, which led to your lack of experience and strength, that you were suppressed by Sanshoyu Hanzo...... But don't forget, the reason why he was able to survive from the hands of Sanshoyu Hanzo in the first place and get the title of 'Three Ninja of Konoha Ninja Village' was all because of the mercy of Sanshoyu Hanzo's men! β
"Shhhββ! I didn't tell you about these things, how do you know......"
Behind the glorious achievements, the hidden unknown truth was easily pierced and exposed by Naruto, who was a traverser. Jean, who was about to brag about a wave of his own strength in front of Naruto, suddenly blushed. Immediately subconsciously exclaimed, because he realized that the reaction of this leak was undoubtedly a disguised admission of what Naruto said, he gritted his teeth and forcibly interrupted. When he spoke again with a red face, he replaced it with an unconvincing and reckless words.
"Ahh Who...... Who showed mercy! We obviously survived from that old monster by our own skills! β
Of course, in a sense, there is some truth in Zilaiye's words......
After all, Sannin, who was still young and immature at the beginning, not only showed a strong strength far superior to his peers in the process of fighting with Sanshoyu Hanzo. It also made Sanshoyu Hanzo see the deep potential from these three people, and gave birth to the heart of cherishing talents. This made Sanshoyu Hanzo subconsciously, just like when he admired the courage of Mifune, a samurai of the Iron Country, and his obsession to never give up. And because of this, I wanted to see how far Mifune could grow, and I took the initiative to give Mifune the antidote that I urgently needed at that time, so I chose to leave the lives of the three of them. And at the same time full of expectations for the future of these three people, he personally gave the "Three Ninja of Konoha Ninja Village", which will be a resounding name that will spread all over the world in the future!
In other words, although the combined strength of the three of them is indeed far inferior to the Sanshoyu Hanzo, who has been famous for a long time and is known as the "demigod of the ninja world" by the world...... But if it weren't for the three of them joining forces, they had a strong strength that would make Sanshoyu Hanzo look at him differently. I'm afraid that the fate of these three people will be the same as the countless enemy soldiers who were once killed by Sanshoyu Hanzo, and they will be regarded as unknown pawns, and they will be killed on the spot mercilessly.
Thinking about it this way, Jiraiya's statement that he relied on his own strength to save a life from under the hands of Sanshoyu Hanzang is really not wrong......
But even so, for Naruto's gloomy face, it didn't have the slightest effect of improving and easing...... On the contrary, in front of the unconvincing grievances, there is a tendency to intensify!
"Oh? Is it...... Scold...... Hahahaββ! Okay, I'll take a step back and save some face for you, even if you three ninjas survived on your own strength......"
No, no, after hearing the rebuttal that he was not convinced, Naruto sneered angrily. Immediately, under the slightly dissatisfied gaze of Jiraiya, he spread his hands indifferently and deliberately lengthened his tone a little. While his eyes narrowed slightly, the conversation changed, and he continued to complain unceremoniously.
"But you probably forgot...... When I had a duel with Sanshoyu Hanzo, it was Sanshoyu Hanzo who was alone and beat the three of you. During this period, no one intervened to help Hanzo...... Bullying more and still losing is not a glorious thing, is it? β
Accompanied by Naruto's words, word by word came out of his mouth...... Not only did Jiraiya's face stiffen, but even Orochimaru, who was standing aside with his arms folded and planning to watch a good show, began to move a little stiffly and uncomfortably.
After all, Naruto's point-to-point words can be said to be a merciless demeaning demeaning battle for the fame of the three shinobi. Naturally, the two of them, who are the parties involved, feel a little old and can't hang up...... However, what Naruto said, if you think about it carefully, it is still a fact that cannot be changed. So much so that Jiraiya and Orochimaru, in the meantime, it was difficult to come up with a reason to refute Naruto. Then the two subconsciously turned their heads a little, and while looking at each other in embarrassment, they fell into a state of speechless silence.
"Huh? How? Run out of rebuttals? β
Seeing the dissatisfied look on Jiraiya's face, after the changes that quietly dissipated in the process of silence, Naruto's heart, which was full of uneasy premonitions, finally calmed down a little. And then the frowning brows, began to slowly stretch out, because of the slight calmness and composure of the mood, and while continuing to talk eloquently, the name of Jilaiya was quietly changed back.
"Since I don't have anything to say, it's my turn to ask you, Grandpa Jiraiya."
Before the words fell, Naruto's thoughts raced again, analyzing the current situation. And sorted out and summarized useful information from it, so that in the process of speaking later, he could effectively persuade Jiraiya to give up the idea of going to Yuyin Village......
In this case, the first thing to bear the brunt of is the current distribution of power in Yuyin Village.
As Naruto had seen with his own eyes, Orochimaru, who was now wearing a special robe with red auspicious clouds on a black background, had undoubtedly joined the Akatsuki organization......
It is precisely because of this that Naruto, who can easily deduce from this, that is, the current ruler of Rain Hidden Village has quietly changed.
After all, according to the plot of the original book, the time when Orochimaru joined the Shinxiao organization was when Sanshoyu Hanzou was bewitched by Shimura Danzo, and decided that the Akatsuki organization, which was expanding its power at that time, would pose a threat to his dominance. And teamed up with Danzang to kill the real founder of the Xiao organization, Yahiko, to the design.
It is precisely because of this accident that the Akatsuki Organization, whose original intention was to create a peaceful world without relying on extreme force, has quietly twisted into a paranoid and dangerous organization that makes the world feel the pain under the influence of this sudden and great grief......
[Hmm...... Although if you think about it carefully, this should be one of the many plans that Madara Uchiha arranged before he died. But I always feel ...... If there is no-stirring stick without Danzo, Naruto's world will be much more peaceful? γ
In addition, under the influence of this incident, the biggest impact on the change in the power of Yuyin Village was probably another major event that happened not long after, which was enough to shock the entire ninja world - that is, the fall and death of the world-famous ninja demigod, Sanshoyu Hanzo!
That's right, according to normal circumstances, the Xiao organization at that time, as a style of acting, was obviously too immature and naΓ―ve. Even the most important foundation is too thin and fragile nascent organization. In the case of the joint suppression of Sanshoyu Hanzou and Shimura Danzo, and the successful killing of Yahiko as the leader, it is indeed the only way to quietly perish with the passage of time......
But what Sanshoyu Hanzou never expected was that killing Yahiko, who was the leader, not only failed to deal any substantial blow to the combat effectiveness of the Xiao organization...... On the contrary, under the stimulation of this sudden and huge grief, the whirlpool Nagato, who has the eye of reincarnation, was completely awakened! So much so that in the near future, even if Sanshoyu Hanzo has the protection and protection of many elite soldiers and strong generals, he still dies in the hands of Yahiko, who was transformed into the corpse of Heavenly Dao Payne by Uzumaki Nagato with the ability of the reincarnation eye!
Of course, in order to keep the organization low-key, so as not to attract too much attention before the wings are fully plumped. made Nagato control Tendo Payne, so that Yahiko was able to personally slash the enemy in a sense, and at the same time, he also solved all the eyewitnesses who had witnessed this shocking change. And then when the Xiao organization occupied the territory of Sanshoyu Hanzo's power and completely controlled the ruling power of Yuyin Village, it was enough to be regarded as covering the sky in Yuyin Village, and chose to do his best to conceal the news that Sanshoyu Hanzo had died and fallen. So much so that even after the death of Sanshoyu Hanzo, a short period of time has passed. But this truth is still little known. And in most people's cognition, the current ruler of Yuyin Village is still the demigod of the ninja world who was dominant, Sanshoyu Hanzo!
And in the process of constantly questioning and refuting Jiraiya, the tentative words that were quietly mixed in made Naruto completely sure...... This astonishing change, even Jiraiya, who has been away from the village for many years and has been searching for information for the Konoha Ninja Village, is still kept in the dark and ignorant of it!
In other words, because of the obscurity of the Xiao organization, it is impossible to come up with enough evidence to convince Zilai to give up just by relying on his own words for a while. And because Naruto is still unsure, Orochimaru, who has joined the Shinxiao organization, will be on which side. And as far as Naruto himself is concerned, before his strength grows enough to shake the Akatsuki organization head-on, he has the idea of being able to develop obscenely, and tries his best to avoid being targeted by the Akatsuki organization in advance. It was destined that Naruto would not use the Akatsuki organization as a reason to persuade Jiraiya to give up the idea of going to Yuyin Village to send people's heads.
Because of this, it is not clear that Hanzo, the Sansho fish that he has always feared, has already died in the hands of his apprentice Uzumaki Nagato...... Using the prestige of the demigod of the ninja world by using the prestige of the Sanshoyu Hanzo to convince Jiraiya with reason and evidence is obviously more effective, and it is also the only plan that Naruto can take at the moment!
"When you fought Hanzo Sanshoyu, it was three against one. And during this time, Sanshoyu Hanzo did not call for any helpers to offset your numerical advantage......"
Thinking of this, Naruto's words paused for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile. And then spoke again, and between questions and answers, he talked in an orderly manner.
"Well, the other way around...... Even if you are grandpa, your current strength has made a lot of progress compared to back then. β
"That's when ...... Wait? What do you mean by even if it is?! β
"But as soon as you come, this time, you entered Yuyin Village alone, without any helpers to help."
"Huh? What if you don't have a helper? I can definitely ......."
"Second, Yuyin Village is the base camp that has been ruled by Sanshoyu Hanzo for many years...... As an outsider who recklessly broke in, if you are here, you have a conflict with Sanshoyu Hanzang? Then, Sanshoyu Hanzo is bound to occupy an absolute home advantage......"
"Hey, hey, listen to the talk, little bastard! What about home field advantage? I can't ...... the same."
"In this case, if Sanshoyu Hanzo wants to kill you and sets up a heavy ambush...... How confident do you think you are that you will be able to get out of it? β
ββ¦β¦ Belch...... This...... What's this...... I...... Of course I do! But that's like ......"
"Or do you think that since you can make the Sanshoyu Hanzo, you choose to let yourself go. So when you meet for the second time, will you still be left with a life by the other party as before? β
ββ¦β¦β
The words that tried to justify himself were always unable to be uttered in full because Naruto had preempted them. However, from Naruto's mouth, the words that kept popping out one after another made it difficult for Jiraiya to find a defensible reason for rebuttal. So much so that after calming down a little, a cold sweat broke out on Jiraiya's forehead, and he began to feel a deep fear like Naruto. Then, under Naruto's unyielding gaze, he squatted on the ground quite weakly, and drew circles without tears......
"Is there any mistake...... I just want to go to Yuyin Village and see how Yahiko and the others are doing now...... Can it get so complicated and exaggerated?! β
